Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BLOOM HOUSE at none against Detective Mio's 4. BLOOM HOUSE also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Detective Mio's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (86% vs 78%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

BLOOM HOUSE holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 301 and 671 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Detective Mio's written reviews are positive against 78% of BLOOM HOUSE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Detective Mio ships an update every 2 weeks, BLOOM HOUSE every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
